Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The roots can be of two types which are tap roots and adventitious roots.
The roots which are formed by the non-root tissue called as Adventitious roots. These roots can produce in normal development condition and stress condition such as flooding, nutrient deprivation and wounding. These roots are also produced by the

- Figure 25.24 Which of the following statements about the fern life cycle is false? Sporangia produce haploid spores. The sporophyte grows from a gametophyte The sporophyte is diploid and the gametophyte is haploid. Sporangia form on the underside of the gametophyte.arrow_forwardModified leaves that enable a stem to climb are called __________, whereas modified leaves that cover the winter buds of a dormant woody plant are called __________. (a) spines; bud scales (b) bud scales; tendrils (c) tendrils; bud scales (d) tendrils; spines (e) carnivorous leaves; spinesarrow_forwardHow can you distinguish a simple leaf from the leaflet of a compound leaf? With a simple leaf a terminal bud will be located at the end of the stem. Buds are not located at the tips of compound leaves. Eudicots have compound leaves and monocots have simple leaves. Simple leaves are arranged alternately on a stem, but leaflets have an opposite arrangement on a rachis. Axillary buds are located where the leaf attaches to the stem. Leaflets of compound leaves do not have axillary buds. Simple leaves are larger than leaflets.arrow_forward

- Plant B grows in unstable soil, it also needs to grow rather tall and grow quickly. This results in a tall, thin plant, grows, reproduces and dies in one year. What type of root adaptaion might it have, and what kind of life cycle would it have (use the plant terminology for life cycles)? Stolons and biennial life cycle Fiberous roots and annual life cycle O Prop roots and annual life cycle Prop roots and indeterminate growtharrow_forwarddicot grass plant the roots attached to the base of the stem replaced the primary root that fell off as the plant grew older. can you consider these roots to be lateral roots?arrow_forwardfrom the viewpoint of the plant, can you suggest a practical reason for branch roots originate internally instead of at the surface?arrow_forward
- What is the function of the lenticels? Do all stems have lenticels? How can you differentiate a monocot plant from a dicot plant just by looking at the stem? What advantage would herbaceous stems have over woody stems?arrow_forwardAll of the following are edible tap roots, except Sweet potato Carrot Turnip Beet rootarrow_forwardAt the tip of each root branch, there is a root cap that protects the root apical meristem beneath.
